RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | E3 Gameplay - King Atem - Jul 5th, 2019 A lot of fans feel that if 'Gamefreak doesn't care about Pokemon, we have to.' Which is the reason for the #nationaldex movement. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | E3 Gameplay - Moonface - Jul 5th, 2019 I wouldn't be surprised if Game Freak have more passion right now for Town than they do Pokemon, just because of being able to do something different for a change. I also wouldn't be surprised if more people and more effort is going into Town than Sw/Sh because of the outlook that the latter will sell well just because of the brand it has. Not that the games don't get effort, but Call of Duty could probably half ass a game in a noticeable way and it would still sell well enough for everyone to just take the hit and possibly rebound back on the next game. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | E3 Gameplay - Moonface - Jul 9th, 2019 Gigantamaxing, New Pokemon, and Version Exclusive Trainers Revealed A new trailer for Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield has revealed a more advanced form of Dynamax called Gigantamax, new Pokemon, and version exclusive trainers! So I guess Mega Evolutions are kind of back now? I wonder if every Pokemon in the games will get a Gigantamax form? They really should, since Game Freak aren't having to do this for every Pokemon that ever existed, so other areas should be getting more work put into them. Still very on the fence with these games though since the whole Dexit thing. Not that I care for the Dex being cut down, but I do care that this game doesn't look like it's benefitting from that cut as much as I would hope for. I'm hoping the end result justifies that cut, and doesn't just come off as Game Freak not having enough time to do the games in the first place and just cutting down on Pokemon to try and get the game shipped in time rather than cutting out actual game features or game content. Version exclusive trainers are neat I suppose, although not something that would remotely influence my choice on what game I'd get. That will always come down to what Pokemon are in each, since they hold the most longevity and purpose compared to a gym leader who's going to be a one and done affair. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | Gigantamax Trailer - queenzelda - Jul 11th, 2019 I'll probably end up with both Sw/Sld, even though I plan to get Pkmn Sword. I figure with it releasing in November I can ask for Sld for Christmas & get it. xp RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | Gigantamax Trailer - ShiraNoMai - Jul 14th, 2019 You can also get that double pack, queen, that they made! I feel like this is the first time they've bundled the games together physically. I haven't made a final choice on my decision to purchase this right away, but I probably will end up with it in the end, I just know it RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | Gigantamax Trailer - Moonface - Jul 15th, 2019 (Jul 14th, 2019, 02:54 AM)ShiraNoMai Wrote:No, USUM, SM, ORAS all had a double pack. I think the trend first started with ORAS because I can't find any double packs prior to it. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | Gigantamax Trailer - queenzelda - Jul 20th, 2019 Uh, do I get a bunch of extra pokeballs for getting both games? No? Then I'm not interested. If I got something extra (like more Pokeballs, a special shiny pokemon, etc) then it might be worth it. Usually though in the area I live in I've never seen the duel packs for Pokemon games so I doubt I'll end up getting it, since I tend to get my games from stores. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | Gigantamax Trailer - Moonface - Jul 23rd, 2019 Actually, the double pack does offer rewards: Official Website Wrote:General pre-orders through the official website also come with a plush keychain of one of the three starters while supplies last. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | Gigantamax Trailer - Moonface - Aug 5th, 2019 I wonder what they'll show other than new Pokemon? Apparently there's some camping feature that hasn't been officially shown off yet so I guess that might be shown if it turns out to be an actual thing. Personally I'd like to see evidence of the visuals being improved (since they really need it) but I won't hold my breath. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield - Moonface - Aug 7th, 2019 A New Team, New Rivals, and New Pokémon Appear in the Galar Region! The newest trailer for Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield has revealed a new team, new rivals, and new Pokémon; some of which are Galarian forms of pre-existing Pokémon! New Pokémon
New Rivals — Bede and Marnie! Hop won't be your only rival in Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield; you'll also have to face off against two other rivals in Bede and Marnie! Bede is skilled at Pokémon battles and has the pride to match! He joined the Gym Challenge after receiving his endorsement from Chairman Rose. While clearly aiming to become Champion, he also seems to have other objectives. Meanwhile, Marnie has teamed up with Morpeko and wants to become the Champion of the Galar region in order to accomplish a certain goal. She has many passionate fans, thanks to her calm, calculated battle strategies. New Team — Team Yell As previously stated, Marnie has many passionate fans, and some of those fans make up the ranks of Team Yell! These troublemakers will attempt to get in your way at every opportunity. They want nothing more than for Marnie to become Champion, and they’ll stop at nothing to make that happen. Poké Jobs It's already been established that humans and Pokémon work together in the Galar region, with many corporations and universities requesting the help of Pokémon through what are known as Poké Jobs. As a resident of the Galar region, you too can send your Pokémon to work by visiting your nearest Pokémon Center to check for available Poké Jobs. Any Pokémon you send to fill a job request will be able to earn experience in a similar fashion to the Poké Pelago feature of the Alola region, and if they're on a job long enough they may even bring back some items too! RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | New Trailer Details - Dragon Lord - Aug 7th, 2019 Every damn time. Every time they reveal a new Pokemon, I'm like, okay, there's no way they can make something as dumb as this. Referring to that little... creampuff or whatever the hell it is in the last reveal. Then they come up with Galarian Weezing. I think they need to do a drug raid on Gamefreak because they're obviously on something. That Weezing might actually be the worst design they've ever come up with. Also Galarian Zigzagoon confirms that someone at GF is a huge KISS fan. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | New Trailer Details - Moonface - Aug 7th, 2019 My only gripe with the new Pokemon is Morpeko. It's just yet another Pokemon that in terms of appearance comes off as an attempt of giving a new region something that looks like Pikachu. The Galarian Weezing I like because it incorporates elements of the industrial revolution of England with the top hats doubling as smoke stacks, so for a regional Pokemon design it actually fits in very well. The new team concerns me only in that they're not coming off as antagonists to the region like say a Team Rocket/Aqua/Flare, etc. but just dealing with anyone who gives Marnie problems, and so I'm hoping there's something more to them/Marnie than meets the eye or there's something else to add an external antagonistic element to the story and the region itself. It would be neat if Yell cover all those bases, since then it might not come off as insane for a new trainer to defeat them when the person they're rooting for and maybe even being secretly lead by is also not someone who should have far more experience than the player character does. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | New Trailer Details - queenzelda - Aug 7th, 2019 I find it hilarious that there's a 'Team Yell' confirming for me that some one on GF is also a PriPara fan since Sophie also has a bunch of fans like the rival Marnie has. xD I don't really care what the pokemon look like, I care about if they are actually decent battlers. But that's me. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | New Trailer Details - Moonface - Aug 7th, 2019 I wonder if Galarian forms of existing Pokemon means that their base forms are going to be in the game, or can at least be brought across from Bank/Home. I don't see why regular Weezing can't be in the games when its variant already is. I guess that also confirms there's a Galarian Koffing since it wouldn't make sense for it not to be. RE: Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield | New Trailer Details - queenzelda - Aug 7th, 2019 Doubful, cause if you look at Pokemon Sun/Moon as 'a thing that has been done before with new formes'; if you brought over a different region Pikachu it wouldn't automatically turn into an Alonan Richau when you use a thunder stone on said Pikachu. So I'm thinking the same thing will happen with the Galar region. |
